A rapid drought impact assessment was therefore carried out. For a comprehensive drought impact assessment, 21 districts were visited across 8 states and multiple stakeholders’ including government authorities were consulted. Along with these consultations anthropometric methodology was adapted for nutrition assessment too. RedR India deployed 31 sectoral specialists across eight states for the assessment, who designed the assessment tools and methodology, lead the process, compiled and analysed the findings and provided sector wise recommendations. These recommendations were provided as short, medium and long term actions towards mitigating the effects of the drought and build resilience at community level. RedR, with respective UNICEF state offices also engaged in constructive dialogue with the government of all the states to present the findings and the recommendations from the exercise, focusing on approaches that might fortify the existing machinery and services towards drought resilience. 625 work days were invested for this exercise.

  • 88309 Rwanda Omslag
    Assessment of the Impact and Influence of the Joint Evaluation of Emergency Assistance to Rwanda Lessons from Rwanda – Lessons for Today Rwanda – Lessons for Today Lessons from Following the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated a comprehensive evaluation of the international response. The findings were highly critical of nearly all the international actors. Ten years after the genocide the Ministry commissioned this assessment of the impact and influence of the evaluation. It concludes that the evaluation con- tributed to increased accountability among humanitarian organizations and that it had important influences on several major donor policies. But, despite a greater willingness by the international community to intervene militarily and to undertake more robust peacekeeping missions, these remain the exception rather than the rule where mass killings of civilians threaten or are even underway. The evaluation’s main conclusion – that “Humanitarian Action cannot substitute for political action” – remains just as December 2004 valid today as 10 years ago.

  • Redr Australia E-News Bulletin October 2011
    RedR Australia e-news bulletin October 2011 From the office UN Secretary General’s visit to Australia United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and his wife visited Australia briefly in September. The Governor General hosted a dinner in their honour at Yarralumla in Canberra. It was pleasing to have RedR Australia on a guest list of just 30 people, including current MPs, the Australian Federal Police, various women’s development groups which the Governor General supports, and three aid agencies with direct UN links. There was an opportunity to chat one-on-one with the Secretary General, who was still processing his visit to Kiribati and his realisation that the sea poses such a threat via tsunami and/or sea level rise. I was able to outline the RedR Australia role, to which he said how difficult he expects it to be to mobilise sufficient capable people in the years ahead. Some of the other guests introduced themselves to me, seeking to find out more about RedR. This included two of the Governor General’s own staff. Funnily enough, I had a couple of the RedR brochures in my pocket….. Alan McLean, CEO Foreign Minister invited to speak at 2011 Annual General Meeting Elizabeth Taylor, Chair of RedR Australia, has invited Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd to be guest speaker at the Annual General Meeting of RedR Australia, in Melbourne on Monday 24 October. The invitation read, in part: “As I am sure you know, RedR Australia recruits, selects, trains, prepares, deploys and supports some wonderful Australians who make excellent humanitarian contributions to United Nations relief agencies arising from international disasters and emergencies.

Formal humanitarian training programmes and District (field level) Learning Support Offices (DLSO) form the backbone of the programme. The concept of providing resources and structured support for humanitarian learning was new to Sri Lanka. This case study considers the goals, roles, principles and approaches of the District Learning Support Offices (DLSO) operating in 4 districts in Sri Lanka against good practice field level learning. Interviews and an examination of literature about good practice field level humanitarian inform the case study. Background Why a Learning Support and Capacity Building Programme in Sri Lanka? Humanitarian agencies’ response to the tsunami disaster that struck Sri Lanka on 26 December 2004 causing the displacement of 500,000 people has featured inadequate, inconsistent and inappropriate humanitarian responses, with compromised quality in the delivery of services 1 . Government and NGOs remain inadequately prepared to respond to the rapidly changing needs of post­tsunami reconstruction and recovery activities.

  • Professionalising the Humanitarian Sector a Scoping Study
    Professionalising the Humanitarian Sector A scoping study Joint Authors Peter Walker, Feinstein International Center, Tufts University and Catherine Russ, RedR UK Report commissioned by ELRHA, April 2010 i ELRHA ELRHA is the first collaborative network dedicated to supporting partnerships between Higher Education institutions in the UK and humanitarian organisations and partners around the world. Today, we face humanitarian crises of increasing complexity and severity and, as we anticipate a future of increasing human vulnerability to global events, the need for expertise and research dedicated to finding solutions to humanitarian challenges has never been more pertinent. Higher Education Institutes represent a phenomenal resource that can and should be harnessed to support the humanitarian endeavor. The ELRHA project has been set up to help meet this challenge and aims to provide a bridge between the humanitarian and higher education communities. ELRHA therefore works to identify and support partnerships between Higher Education and humanitarian partners that can: • Work collaboratively to address current humanitarian challenges, and; • Support and prepare the humanitarian community for the crises of the future. ELRHA is an independent project that is hosted by Save the Children on behalf of the humanitarian and the higher education sectors. The project is directed through the project stakeholder’s network with oversight being provided by our independent project steering committee. For more details about ELRHA, or the professionalisation agenda, please visit our website at: www.elrha.org.

Box 40712, 00100, Nairobi,, Kenya Abstract In a typical year, relief agencies respond to over 338 emergencies throughout the world. Twenty four per cent of those humanitarian crises are centred in Africa and few will rise to international attention unless they are rated as large scale emergencies. When a disaster occurs, irrespective of the scale and scope of the crisis, the humanitarian needs of the right-holders or affected communities are of equal importance, and relief agencies must be prepared to respond when needed. In Kenya, the Real Time Evaluation of the 2011 Horn of Africa drought identified that the lack of a rapid assessment mechanism was a major obstacle for the humanitarian community to provide high quality responses to people affected by disasters. UNICEF Kenya with UNOCHA East Africa, Assessment Capacities Project, RedR UK, Kenya Red Cross and the Kenyan Government put in place the partnership-based collaborative Kenya Inter Agency Rapid Assessment (KIRA) and established a mechanism capable of conducting a multi-agency, multi-sectoral assessment of humanitarian needs.

Despite this children are often denied a role in emergency preparedness and response. The Asian tsunami in 2004 triggered one of the largest humanitarian relief efforts globally. Children’s participation in emergency response and their active involvement in relief and rehabilitation efforts was core to Save the Children’s Tsunami response.

Participants included representatives from the country teams from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Somalia, regional partners and donors. Djibouti and Uganda were unable to send representation to the workshop but, in the case of Uganda, did forward notes on the humanitarian situation and scenarios which was presented to the plenary. Djibouti was not covered in the deliberations as the situation there was not thought to have altered sufficiently. Representatives of regional bodies of the UN, international NGOs, donors and the Federation of the Red Cross were present and their active participation proved invaluable for the discussions that ensued. As had been discussed at the previous Contingency Planning Workshop for the Horn of Africa, this workshop focused mainly on the mapping and development of scenarios for the individual countries.
